According to this, in the outer cylinder with puncture portion, a connection state to the port of the infusion solution container is maintained in a stable state.
  • the puncture end portion includes a solid tapered shape that has an outer diameter decreases toward a distal end thereof, and the hole is a lateral hole that is provided proximal of the distal end of the distal end section by a predetermined length and is provided distal of a proximal end of the distal end section by a range of 1.8 to 5.0 mm.
  • a distance between a distal end of the lateral hole and the proximal end of the distal end section is a range of 1.8 to 5.0 mm.
  • the outer cylinder with puncture portion further includes: a sealing cap that seals the hole.
  • a pre-filled syringe in another embodiments, includes: the outer cylinder with puncture portion described above; a gasket that is slidably accommodated in the outer cylinder; a medical liquid that is filled in the outer cylinder; and a plunger that is attached to a proximal end of the gasket or is attachable to the proximal end.
